Here’s how the Flames fared on the final day of the round robin.
Canada 4, Finland 1

Jakob Pelletier got the primary assist on Dylan Holloway’s eventual game-winner, banking the puck in off of the Oilers prospect. All-told, Pelletier had an assist, two shots and was plus-1 in 10:36.
Connor Zary had a secondary assist on Canada’s third goal. He ended up with one assist, four shots and was plus-1 in 9:24.
With the win, Canada locked down first place in Group A.
